Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 102 Do you want to go to North America?

"Who is it?" Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously, because Chen Hao spoke English, so she didn't understand.

"A liar." Chen Hao said angrily, but looked at the pure and charming Gao Yuanyuan, but laughed again, "Leave him alone, let's continue."

……

In fact, long before Universal and Weinstein, some film companies have come to inquire about the copyright fee of "Moon".

Seeing that "Moon" has become a popular movie, the price is bound to get higher and higher, so they want to be the first to make a move to lower the price.

Universal's 100 million US dollars is considered a bit of sincerity, but it is obviously not up to Chen Hao's expectations.

As for Weinstein’s 500 million, that’s a lie. Chen Hao didn’t even think about selling 500 million for just a North American distribution right.

However, after Universal and Weinstein, Chen Hao soon met another Hollywood film company, Warner!
In fact, Warner came to China earlier than Columbia, but he should be more famous in the record industry. Many well-known singers in China have signed contracts with Warner Records.

As for the film, there is no action. The first Chinese-language film that Warner participated in the investment is "Left to Right", and this film will not be released until next year.

However, at the beginning of this year, Warner International Cinemas had officially opened in the imperial capital. Obviously, Warner also has its eyes on China's gradually opening up mainland market.

Among the major Hollywood companies, Disney, Sony Columbia, Warner and Universal are the four companies that have the deepest contact with China.

Warner's offer was more sincere, and the North American distribution rights were directly awarded US$150 million.

This price is in line with Chen Hao's expectations, but the North American distribution rights are three times the global copyright of "Comet".

And the price was not low in 2002.

However, just as Chen Hao was thinking about whether to agree, Davis from Sony Columbia called.

"Chen, congratulations, the filming of "Moon" was very successful." Davis praised.

"It's okay, I didn't win the prize again!" Chen Hao smiled.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, I want to buy the copyright of "Moon"." Davis said bluntly.

"I am now discussing this issue with Universal, Weinstein and Warner." Chen Hao raised the banner and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"Okay, Chen, none of them value you as much as I do. I understand you, and the price I will give you will definitely satisfy you. I can even give you a sex service!" Davis said confidently.

Chen Hao heard the words but his mother was scared to pee, what is a one-time sex service?I don't need this shit, "What did you say?! Are you sure you're using the correct Chinese characters?"

"Of course, I'm sure." Davis vowed.

Upon hearing the words, Chen Hao said directly, "Don't contact me again in the future." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Just when Chen Hao was feeling sick, Davis called again.

Chen Hao didn't answer, Davis continued to call, and in the end, Chen Hao had no choice but to connect again.

"Chen, did you have some misunderstanding? Did I offend you?" Davis asked puzzled.

"No, you must not offend me!" Chen Hao rolled his eyes and said, "I'll give you another chance, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Davis thought about it immediately when he heard the words, and felt that he was right. "I mean, Colombia can buy all the global copyrights of "Moon" except mainland China at one time. Is there any problem?"

Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, what the fuck, it was a one-time sex, service!Not once, xing service!

Uh, I can only blame you old beauties for being too open, making people have to think about it.

"Davis, your Chinese level needs to be improved!" Chen Hao said dissatisfied.

Although he didn't know where he made a mistake, Chen Hao must know Chinese better than himself, so Davis sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Chen, I don't mean anything bad."

"Okay, I forgive you." Chen Hao said, "Then tell me about your sex service this time!"

"The North American distribution rights of "Moon" are 150 million, peripheral copyrights are 120 million, Europe is 100 million, Asia is 50, and Central and South America is 50, a total of 470 million US dollars." Davis said.

The price Davis gave was not low because he was very optimistic about this Chinese film.

Science fiction films eliminate cultural barriers, and the leading role is basically only one person. This can avoid the face blindness of many Europeans and Americans towards Asians. If there is an English dubbing, it will not be much different from American movies, let alone this movie. The evaluation is so high, it is definitely worth the investment.

Chen Hao frowned when he heard the words, and packaged 470 million US dollars at one time, which is nearly 3900 million yuan. Of course, 30% of it was given to Huaying, and he had to pay taxes.

However, Haotian didn't spend any money on the filming of "Moon", and besides, there is also a share of the box office in the Mainland, so it seems that this time it can make a lot of money.

However, Davis only asked for 470 million, and it should be able to rise a little more.

"I don't have any opinion on other things, but the copyright in North America is 120 million, and the copyright in Asia is only 50. Isn't it too little?" Chen Hao said.

"Well, I'll add another 30 to you to make up $500 million, that's it, OK?" Davis said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. This price is not bad, and it has met his expectations, and it saves himself to find someone to negotiate copyright fees. Besides, Davis is also a good person.

After all, I still want to earn the dollar exchange rate difference, so it is necessary to have a close relationship with Colombia.

Seeing that Chen Hao didn't answer, Davis immediately said, "Chen, the price is already high, and it's very convenient, isn't it? Also, I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

"What suggestion?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"Do you want to go to North America?" Davis asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words.

"Think about Li An, Wu Baige, think about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Face Changing", "Mission: Impossible 2", haven't you thought about going to North America too?" Davis bewitched.

Chen Hao's heart moved when he heard the words, are you going to North America?

He really didn't think about this before, at least he didn't think about it before he made his way in China.

However, the downturn in the domestic film market at the beginning of the century really surprised Chen Hao.

Moreover, it will take at least six or seven years before the mainland movie market becomes popular. Chen Hao doesn't want to wait so long for nothing.

It is too difficult to make money from movies in mainland China now, so Chen Hao came up with the idea of ​​making money from the dollar exchange rate difference.

It’s just that Davis’s proposal gave Chen Hao a new idea. He can go to North America to make a film, and then make money to return to China, which also makes money from the exchange rate difference.

And it can also borrow Colombia's funds and global distribution channels, which is much stronger than the sluggish domestic film market.

I can participate in the investment myself, and I believe Columbia will agree. Except for some movies that must make money, Hollywood companies know how to share risks, so it should not be a big problem to participate in the investment by myself.

However, in North America, where people are not familiar with, and North America is a producer-centered system, the power of the director is not as great as in China, and there is a more important issue of final editing rights, etc. These are definitely unavoidable .

But, no matter what, it is indeed a huge temptation for Chen Hao, who is now poor, to make money from all over the world with the help of Colombia.

No matter how difficult it is, Chen Hao believes that with his golden fingers and experience in his previous life, he should be able to overcome it.

As long as the cooperation is successful once, the next step will be much easier, and making money by yourself is no longer a big problem.

Moreover, the beginning of the century is the most prosperous period for Chinese-language films in North America. Although they may not cooperate with each other, there are two kung fu superstars and two directors who are influential.

Chen Hao can still use some power to reduce the resistance he encounters in Hollywood.

When Li Lianjie and Long Ge return home in defeat, and Wu Baige also withdraws from Hollywood, then the Chinese film forces will be completely withdrawn from North America, and Li Yong alone will not be able to succeed!
If you miss this opportunity now, it will be completely impossible to take advantage of it in the future!
